National Archaeological Museum of Chiusi
Chiusi is an interesting little town. The Museum is a required stop on the Etruscan train. With your entrance fee, you can also take a tour of the Etruscan necropilis near Lake Chiusi. Don't miss this one. I've done it twice, and the tours are seldom crowded.
